Classic SS question... Slinky guy and...

[12345elo]

Does anyone remember a real people/live action segment of early to mid 70s Sesame Street, which featured about three people who were dressed in VERY bizarre costumes... one of which was like a giant covered slinky???

I can't for the life of me remember the other costumes. All I remember is these "things". I don't remember what they did exactly... they just moved all around and looked strange. I believe it was a recurring segment, that there was more than one of these segments produced, I mean.

My mother says these people were a comedy troupe (for lack of a better term), similar to maybe Blue Man Group or Stomp, in that they had a gimmick (the costumes) that made them popular.

Who were these people?? Anyone?

Thanks!

Mummenshanz, perhaps?

Splurge,

I cannot thank you enough!! You have kept me from driving myself crazy! I did a search on Mummenschanz, and lo and behold, there they were! You were right exactly!

The other two "mimes" I was trying to recall (and did the moment I saw the picture) were the two that had toilet paper rolls attached to their heads.

I feel SO much better! Thank you!

My pleasure.

They also were guests on the Muppet Show, too.
